Why I desert? Because of the poor matchmaker!

In the latest update, there has been a slight change on the option of desert. It might be mean to decrease the number of deserters. But in my point of view, it makes no sense.
Why? In the last a couple of month, many of my friends have quitted Enlisted because of the boring waiting of the merge. Also, they feel disappointed about the gameplay. This means I have to play alone to finish the Marathon event and the Independent Day event. I feel disappointed about the matchmaker. Here are some common situations.

  1. Exp Bonus game.
    As a player with 4400+ matches, I don’t need it at all. But every time I unlock it (even from the logging in award), the game become painful. Either a tough game that lost in a few minutes. Or a conquest or escort, finish within 10 minutes and get a much lower award than normal invasion or destruction.

  2. I just wanna finish daily task
    Yes, I just wanna finish it in an hour. So I choose Tunisia Allies, Stalingard Allies, Normandy Allies and Berlin Axis. Guess what? My teammates perform perfectly awful. I have to doubt if the game really has the MMR for each player. Because my teammates cannot help me at all, making the easy game become tough. Why? Because they play sniper, riding fighters and they seems never wanna win. Even we have more active players than the opposite, their bad behavior made me angery and don’t want to waste time to help them win. Or just send me to EUR server even I didn’t choose it at all. So I have to bring 9 gamepad players to against 10 PC players. Is that fair?

  3. A series of bad modes.
    As the game have an ambiguous and sick exp gainning computation mode, you have to finish a game over 10 mins and get enough kills and rally point is also a important exp source. But in conquest or escort, players spend time but get much less experience than an invasion or destruction or confortation. That is not fair and not healthy for the game. The worst thing is that, if you desert this conquest/escort, you may enter another after 1min30sec queue. Sometimes, 8 conquest in a row, or 7 escort in a row. Players lost a lot of time simply because they hate these mission, which have little feedback at all.

  4. Crush into a game which already begin a period.
    There are always 2 senarios when you join the game in the middle.
    (1) We got the domination. When I started to run to the 2nd cap, it has been captured. So I had to run 400 meters to the 3rd cap, and get no kill in the process at all.
    (2) We are at a disadvantage. Enemy have built HMG, tanks aiming at the respawn point, teammates build no rally point and even sniper far behind the point. Sometimes, we have lost the 1st cap and enemy got 1000 tickets.
    Both senarios makes me feel unpleasant and desperate. Why I have to join such a game, I even don’t want to see it at all. Since the matchmaker throw me in the bad game, I should have right to say NO.

In all four situations, the best way is stop the loss in time. In other words, desert.
I play the game for joy, not work for the f""kin company. So do not take me as a dumb brick that could throw me to wherever the game need.
And I think the root of the matchmaker is that the game has such few players that they have to exploit every active player, sacrifice their experience to make those games continue. Should we paid for the fault of the devs? I say, NO! Because we have paid you in cash, to buy premium account and squads. You have to promise our gameplay, instead of destructing it.

That’s nice and all, but what’s your solution for this? How should perfect MM looks like? Is it even possible for current state of game? :slight_smile:

All I see is meaningless rant.

If I complain about the dish, should I cook a better dish for the restraunt?
No! I have paid to the cook. It is their job to do better with our opinions.
The same. I paid for premium account and squads. Devs should not get rid of their responsibility.

AND THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION TOPIC, IT IS IN MESS ROOM. USE YOR EYES. DO NOT ASK ‘WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION’

You have no independent thinking, you just pretend to have it. So stop saying things like it never happens on you at all. Did Darkflow or Gaijin pay you a cent? Why you defend them in all topics?

Shouldn’t people complain when they feel it is not good?
You are an arbitrary supporter? Or you should defend my right to say anything.

I just thought you would have something relevant to say other than just toxic rant.
But obviously, you just needed to ventilate your frustration here.

I think you just became unhealthy addicted to this game. And this is outcome.

I doubt games like enlisted will ever be perfect, sadly. And I doubt meaningless rants like this would improve them.
You are just creating toxic mood/environment here in forum for literally no good reason at all.

You should try give yourself a break from this game for a few days rather than creating topics like this one. :wink:

simple

add the game mode filter

Yeah, I wanted option to block certain game modes months ago.
Devs already said they would like to implement something like that after game will leave OBT and hopefully will get more players.

Telling someone to take a break I do not believe is a good idea if more people keep taking breaks the game is gonna become more empty Dark flow needs to make this game more enjoyable and actually workable not misery

That’s why of many reasons I am not paid by DF, lol. I suggested thing that’s best for OP, not for the game.

Being this much emotionally attached to the game is really unhealthy.

I could relate to OP on this so here’s my thoughts on his scenarios

  1. As someone who has over 5000 battles, yeah auto activating boosters are annoying to deal with especially when I don’t feel like grinding something in another campaign.

  2. Finishing daily tasks are already a slog to do so especially beyond stage 75 where all you get is some silver weapons, useless silver troop orders and boosters I don’t even need but not rewards like cosmetic cards or weapon upgrade.

  3. Armored train escort nowadays is an instant desert to me while there are conquest maps that I instantly desert like Alligator Creek, Fortified District, Swamp.

  4. I have called this out several times with the late joining to the point that especially when late joining a losing match with 1st cap already lost then instant desert.

There should’ve been more incentive to stay on bad matches instead of trying to stop deserters from leaving the match since this is not real life war where one can shoot deserters.

absolutely on point post!
the only thing that kept me playing the game after 3 months and being annoyed by bad maps/game modes is me just treating the desertion feature as a map selection mechanism.
no way in hell anyone valuing his time will waste it on bs maps/game modes.

Generally to everyone whos dealing with excessive amount of silvers but lacks bronze .
Buy guns you get most profit for selling aka have the selling bonus topped → get bronze in return for selling.

These days due to ability of selling & buying multiple weapons it isnt that bad chore.
Unfortunately far as I know, if ppl lacks bronze soldiers there aint much else to do than click each invidually to sell.

As reminder for those who did get 200 flamethrowers & mortars earlier from “random weapon” in store, those has been available for sell sometime now as well.
Finally got rid of my hundreds of mortars.

Suggestion
-ban mode option (maybe cost -10% exp for each ban)
-ban map option(cost -x%exp for each ban)
-pve mode/single mode (-exp than pvp)
-exp boost for 1 hour or 1 day instead of x battles ( best since many of complaints are longer match’s give more XP than 1 single fast one)

Calling shit out is not toxic, and i won’t even comment on further projections, calm down.

Clearly most devs don’t play this game much, desertion only got worse since game came out.
Instead of map veto, or game mode selection we get shitty more penalties for deserters announcment.

Also most of his issues are on forum for years, i guess we have to keep repeating them to finally be heard.

And he nailed the issue anyway, there is not enaugh players for 6 campaigns with 2 sides across 3 servers.
So we are finally getting a merge, but seeing a 10 tier table just makes me think the problem is gonna shift from unpopulated campaigns to unpopulated tiers

You are acting like it’s first topic that bring out all pf these issues, lmao.

Literally everyone is aware of it. And literally numerous topics were created about these issues.

This was just another toxic rant, nothing more. :slight_smile: And it will change nothing.

It’s just another cheap try to create shttstorm here on forum, lame bait.

You are acting like everyone coming to forum will read all posts posted before before leaving their thoughts, and it’s not even funny

Nice mental gymnastics.
